"Wang Zhangyuan doesn't care about them, he is the oldest in the next year, and his father always urges. I'm a protégé of the owner.,I definitely can't look for it blindly.,First hold on to me.,Hehe.。 ”

"Zhou Que'er, do you still want to be shameless? Hurry back to the back mountain, complete the task assigned by the master, and then talk about other ...... Ahem, Sister Xiaochen, my family just found a small copper mine in the Qinling Mountains, please mention it more when you introduce me. ”

"The little copper mine is amazing. Wait for the master and the radar to build the new workshop, and scare you to death. ”

"Four-eyed? What are you making a fuss about, you are still hooking up with the little tweed next door, my brother is a loud voice, beware...... Ahem, anyway, it's hard to mess with a loud voice, don't mess with that madman......"

The young people in the village all want to marry a girl who has been studying in Mongolia as a daughter-in-law. Especially the protégés personally mentioned by Li Xiang, almost all of them swore in their hearts that women who were not from the Medical and Health Department, Mengxue and independently operated workshops would not marry. The wolf has more meat and less meat, Xiong Chengwen and other young people looked up in the gap between "changing Mingyue Village", and were surprised to find that there were fewer and fewer school-age women in the village, so they seized the time to please Liu Xiaoci and others.

The price of marrying a good woman is rising exponentially, and time is running out!

In terms of marriage, the middle and upper class people in Mingyuezhuang are very open-minded, or a little drifting. In the past, when they were poor, most people took a few catties of rice and noodles, or at most two catties of meat, in exchange for a woman to enter the door. Now life has changed for the better, but due to Mingyuezhuang's self-contained and constantly improving system, they have gradually forgotten many of the old rules outside the mountain, or they no longer value them.

The living environment is too different, and most of the families in the village have begun to follow the trend. The best way to reflect the transformation of the concept of Zhuang Min is the major events in life.

The words of the matchmaker of the parents? Don't be funny, there are so many good women, and you are not allowed to bully people in the village, if you really want to come to the door to propose marriage when the time comes, the daylily is cold. It is still the owner of the village who is merciful and requires men to be sixteen and women fifteen to talk about marriage, otherwise they are all doll kisses. Let your son out, let him compete with his peers, and it is right to grasp the woman's heart first. Adopt Liuji or something, and do it when you welcome your daughter-in-law into the door......

On the left side of the stands, Liu Susu listened to the noise and laughter coming from the right, pursed her lips and lowered her head, grabbing the corner of her skirt.

Liu Susu was often taken care of by Aunt Xiong when she was a child. Aunt Xiong saw that the future owner's wife was a little depressed, walked to Liu Susu's side, and comforted her a few words, to the effect that girls always have to marry, Liu Susu's identity is different, and so on. Then Aunt Lei also came over and said with a grin: "The sisters of the past don't have to be born. What door does not go out of the second door, the owner has always been tired of this statement, Su Su likes to be lively with the sisters of the past, and privately looks for them to go over. ”

Aunt Xiong rolled her eyes slightly, but she knew that Aunt Lei was right. The owner has always hated the saying that women can't do things, even if Liu Susu passes the door, he can do something.

Su Su finally became more cheerful.

Wu Xiaoling kept signaling beside her, but Aunt Xiong, who couldn't shirk it, had to say ambiguously: "Ahem, Susu." When the owner comes back, he's going to pass through the door, right? Aunt Bear has some things for the bride to use, and I'll show you at night. ”

"Well, what's that?"

"Ahem, we'll find out then." Aunt Lei, a middle-aged strong woman, said on the side.

Liu Susu is not only the future housewife, but also the biggest support of many people. Liu's mother died early, and some necessary premarital education was taken over by Aunt Xiong, Aunt Lei and others, the purpose of course was to make the owner love Liu Susu more.

The guards guarding around the school yard received the flag, approached the center in units, picked up the running teenager and brought him to the center. The children and villagers in the field were quickly divided into six teams according to the large number marked in the upper right corner of the admission form, and the six teams separated according to the age of entry were six classes.

Shen Laoying's daughter was separated from the two elder brothers of Tang Guohao's family. She clutched the access slip tightly with her little hands, for fear of being snatched away. The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, pointed to Shen Laoying on the left side of the stands, and said to Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing, and Xiaolian next to her: "Look, my father is also on it!" ”

"Wow, Uncle Shen is amazing......"

"Uncle Shen is so tall......"

Far away from the stands, Shen Laoying was talking to Tang Guohao in a low voice.

"It's late, I didn't hit anyone!" Tang Guohao was indignant, "There are too few people who don't let their daughters go to Mongolia, it's a pity that they have such a good opportunity." How rare it is to beat people without worrying about punishment in public. ”

Tang Guohao still had a bandage around his neck, "There are a lot of those people, but there are too many men who are crazy and idle." After two months of mountain closure, the killing of Qinling received a signal from the public middle school to beat people, and it was strange if he didn't rush to go. ”

Brother Shen was afraid that if he continued to attack, he might break people, so he stopped and went home. It's really rare to be able to contain your temperament. ”

Shen Ying clenched his fists and begged for mercy, "Brother Tang, don't make fun of the eagle." If it weren't for your reminder, I might still be babbling by now. Now there are few people who are waiting to see the eagle, and if there is any way to make a fortune, the old brother has to take the eagle with him. ”

Tang Guohao's face bloomed, his neck could not move yet, and he motioned for Shen Lao Ying to approach, "How many pieces can you borrow from the owner?" ”

Shen Laoying was overjoyed, "Two days ago, Uncle Zhao told me that it was increased from two hundred to five hundred. No interest, half a year to repay. ”

"Well, just enough to build a line." Tang Guohao smacked his lips and said: "The more than 300 sets of bamboo paper pressed nails set by the public middle school cannot be completed by relying on my family's half-damaged workshop alone, and the family and Ding Shihang can only take it." It's not that hard to do, but it requires a lot of people to take care of it day and night. You can hire someone to build a workshop on the banks of the Han River, but it's best to find a bookkeeper and a steward from the village......"

The bamboo whistle sounded, and the horn left by Liu Chengdong sounded for a long time.

The only sound of breathing and the occasional cough was left in the school yard, and the sound of birds and birds was just an embellishment. Li Mengkong temporarily suppressed the exhaustion all over his body, stood up straight, and looked at the children and teenagers in the audience divided into six pieces with satisfaction.

Li Mengkong paused for crutches, took the copper horn handed by Uncle Zhao, and said in a calm and calm tone, "I, Mingyuezhuang, was originally a small village that was not worth one, and it was poorer than the place where most of your families once stayed. ”

The laughter was drowned out by the bitter laughter.

"Under the care of the master of Liu Zhai, the old man, a bad old man, is in charge of the public middle school as a child. But the village is poor, many people can't get together a pair of pants, and the old man can have a tattered robe to wear, and eat meat twice a year, which is a great luck. ”

The old villagers were full of tears, and some family members were starved to death and froze to death.

"Then, the owner came." Li Mengkong looked up at the sky, as if recalling the days when he first met Li Xiang, "The owner of the village discovered the fish passage and went up the mountain to hunt, and the children of Mengxue no longer starved; The owner found a small iron mine and found a craftsman to set up a workshop, so that half of the villagers could avoid hunger and cold; The owner of the village relied on the youth camp and the disabled old man to block the attack of Pan Ze and Zhao Scar......"

Recalling the various changes after the owner took power, the old craftsmen such as Carpenter, Lei Cheng, and Zhen Laoshi were excited.

"After Zhao'an, there is our workshop on the edge of the Han River, and the villagers don't have to worry about starvation. The owner of the village ignored the tension in the public middle school and invested a lot of money and food in Mengxue, and some people complained about it. The old man asked the owner of the village why he had to let every little doll in the village go to school, and there was no precedent for this in Da Zhou. ”

The protégés of the owner of the village such as the four-eyed boy, the old villagers such as Aunt Lei, and the new villagers such as Tang Guohao all looked at Li Mengkong and waited for an answer. They are also wondering why the owner of the village is trying to support such "money-losing places" as Mongolian schools, literacy classes, and medical and health departments, instead of raising more soldiers and running more workshops.

"Open your eyes to the world and stand up to be human. That's all the owner said. The villagers of Mingyuezhuang do not need to kneel to anyone, this is the first step to stand up and be a human being. The descendants of Mingyuezhuang, you ......" Li Mengkong raised his crutches and paddled past the 212 children, teenagers or young people holding the admission form, "You must not only stand up and be a human being, but also be literate and reasonable, and open your eyes to the world!" ”

Including Jiang Lan, nearly a hundred children and teenagers shuddered at the moment when Li Mengkong cut through the air with a cane.

In the third year of Shengxi, at the beginning of spring, Mengxue in Mingyuezhuang first completed the major restructuring. From this day on, all the villagers with yellow household registration will send their children to Mengxue. Those who violate the order will come to the door to learn from three or five big men, and if they commit another offense, they will repeatedly learn from each other......

"The waves are misty, Liu Yiyi. The grass in the lonely village is far away, and the apricot blossoms fly in the slanting sun. Spring is coming, and the snow in the Qinling Mountains should melt. Li Xiang rode a horse and stood by the river, suddenly remembered half of the poem, and sighed softly. Half of the songs, to be exact.

Fang Weiliang clapped his hands and applauded, "Good words, owner, what a song of Jiangnan Spring." Then he looked directly at his owner, which means: What else? You can't do half of the lyrics, can you?

Li Xiang really "made" half of it, and he didn't remember the last sentence. I accidentally installed a fork and failed, and the owner was very upset.

During his five-day stay in Huzhou, Fang Weiliang and Mr. Zi'an's men had a "cordial and friendly" negotiation on business cooperation. Li Xiang euphemistically said that he wanted to go to Ji'an and help his father-in-law nearby, Han Zhao's expression at that time was very playful, and the commander and battalion commander who heard the news were relieved, and several people expressed goodwill to Li Xiang. Ding Shihang didn't know the depths, so he had to consult with Han Shizhong's personal commander, and he was successfully injured.

Han Shizhong inherited Liu Chengdong's great favor, in order to prevent Li Xiang from being harassed after arriving in Ji'an, and at the same time for his own sake, he took the time to hold a banquet and invited General Liu Chengdong's son-in-law to participate "by the way". Li Xiang climbed up the pole, addressed him as "uncle" in the banquet, and secretly wrote down Han Shizhong's henchmen, pacification envoys, transfer envoys, and several new warriors who arrived in Jiangnan who attended the banquet.

The south of the Yangtze River is good, and the scenery is old. But that's in the past.

Coming out of Huzhou City, Li Xiang walked along the river bank to the southwest, and went straight to Anji County. From Anji County to Huzhou, there was originally a direct river, but the river was too seriously damaged by the Fang La army, and now there is still a small group of Fang La army to harass, and it is temporarily impossible to sail.

Along the river, the once peaceful and prosperous Jiangnan Water Town is in shambles, and the towns on the east bank are obviously seriously damaged. Fallen beams, tattered window lattices, scattered masonry...... There are not many corpses on the road, but there are a lot of bloody clothes scattered around, and the order in the nearby countryside has not been completely out of control, and there are still big families who pay for this kind of thing.

Occasionally, Li Xiang would encounter people who were brave enough to come back to get their belongings, or fox squirrel thieves who wanted to take advantage of the war to get valuables. But those guys who were either traveling alone or in groups of three or five saw Li Xiang, especially when they saw that Li Xiang and his party were actually dressed in the Northland, so they fled cleanly.

Staying overnight at the Xiwang Temple at the foot of Jinlong Mountain and on the west side of the small lake, Li Xiang learned the reason why his party was disgusted and feared by the people of Jiangnan.
